The Thorns of Truth
Tirelessly, the moths of Paranoia nibble
On the wrinkled cloth of your mind
Ravenous rodents incessantly biting
Severing the ties that bind
Pervasively, the clamor of silence
Descends on your question of reason
The ultimate predator of logic awaits
Reality is always in season
Lost on the cacti lined streets of sanity
You begin incandescently screaming
You've pricked your finger on the thorns of truth
And the blood of dashed hopes came streaming
As the serpentine tongue of insanity
Probes the cavern of dreams you've designed
The tattered seams of a shattered heart
Weep openly at kindness maligned
Caressing your spine, the blade of desire
Compels you through the battlefield of chance
While natures orchestra inaudibly plays
You continue the fraudulent dance
Searching for a Victim Sure is Grand
(loosely sung to the tune "Winter Wonderland")
Out in the alley you can throw your hands up
Then hand me your fat wallet filled with cash
If you don't then I will have to stick you
And you can tell the cops I took your stash.
Now your down, down at the station
Filling out a theft citation
If you identify me
I'll kill your family
Stalking my new victim sure is grand.
Now I've raped your childrens mama
You can't believe this dreadful trauma
She screams in the night
You tremble with fright
Stalking my new victim sure is grand.
Down at the court house having trouble coping
For me to be dead is what your hoping
She points the finger at me
I plead in-san-i-ty
Stalking my new victim sure is grand
Now in your house a sound I won't be making
Was that a glass you thought you heard a'breaking?
Now you've got a gun
Hey, I've got to run
Searching for a victim sure is grand
Then hand me your fat wallet filled with cash
If you don't then I will have to stick you
And you can tell the cops I took your stash.

Toys for Poor Kids
Lets go buy the poor kids
Toys and building blocks
Then rush home and check
Our dead-bolt security locks
See? I feel better already
Driving my "Cad" to the mall
Buying toys for poor kids
I'll walk so proud and tall
And Grandpa? He doesn't mind
Being in the nursing home
Why, with all the other old folks
Of course he's not alone
Why is everyone so afraid
To open their hearts and share?
To really show a little love
And tell someone they care?
Isn't this the happiest time of year?
Isn't it great to be alive?
There is no suffering in the world
After all, I bought toys for poor kids, didn't I?

The Haunting of My Love
As my heart drifts ever aimlessly
On the infinite ocean of time
An imaginary Lovers soul
Floats eerily through my mind
The constraints of speech are gone
As we contentedly soar the skies
Promises of eternal bliss are reflected
In the serenity of her eyes
As I drink from the well of tranquillity
The thirst of my world departs
My essence absorbs the surrealism
Of the unity of our hearts
Consciousness stalks my idyllic realm
My being pleads for release
Consciousness harshly preys upon my flesh
The cold executioner of my peace
Reality renews its dominion
Disregarding my wish to stay
The sudden-ness of suffering pervades
As our hands longingly, gently slip away
Every fiber of my being aches
At the sound of reality's bell
The preordained consequence
Compels me to bid you farewell
Falling, an unspoken feeling escapes
May the Love I feel from your eyes
Be enough to see me through my waking ordeals
Until again, my Love, we'll soar the ethereal skies
As my corpse wades ever ploddingly
Through the infinite morass of time
My eternal companions soul
Floats lovingly through my mind.

The Spell of the Crow
"Wrong. There must be something wrong!"
"These evil seeds I must sow"
So goes the scratch for fertile soil
Ever scratching, the Demonic Crow.
At last The Rain clouds burst
A boat of Lies the Innocent must row
No progress made, the Fowl says,
"I will not let you go."
Watching, ever watching
The watchers demand a show.
The mirror cracks upon reflection
As if by a motherly blow.
"Absolution!", cries the Innocent
For what they do not know.
The thought, like malevolent seed,
Took many years to grow.
And now the fruit springs forth
Bitter, despite the glow
Fertilized not by the Priest
But poisoned by the Crow
My Monkey
Oh when I see my monkey is a strugglin'
And he's got three golf balls in his hand
I know he's seen another monkey jugglin'
And it's not workin' out like he planned.
Oh do rah day
Oh do rah do
My monkey thinks he can juggle too.
And he's got three golf balls in his hand
